Oct 2, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours amber with a big head. Aroma smells a bit stale, it lacks the big hops aroma I would expect with a IIPA. Flavor is piney and floral,with a stronger malt backing than I prefer. A bit unbalanced. The ABV is well hidden. Forgettable.

Sep 27, 2009 Pours a rich brown. Typical soapy, citrus aromas. Nice creamy hoppy mouthfeel. A very mellow double IPA. Not very aggressive. I like it.
curly (548), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Sep 27, 2009 Mostly clear dark orange, thick frothy beige head. Aroma is honey, hop spice, pine bitterness and berries. Taste is grapefruit and resinous bitter hops. Medium body, low smooth carbonation and a lingering bitter finish.
Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Sep 27, 2009 Pours a lasting ring of beige head with an amber body that leans toward copper. Pine and over-ripe sweet citrus aroma. Flavors of pineapple, resin, candi sugar. Some bitterness on the finish.
Butters (1622), Virginia, USA
Sep 27, 2009 Sampled at the ’Butter’s Last Supper’ tasting. Pours a clear dark amber with good white head and fair lacing. You can tell right off the nose that this is old. Medicinal antisceptic piney hop aroma with a good backbone of malt that shines through in flavor. And also vegetal, with hot spicy floral faded hops. A bit cloying on the palate. I guess I will have to try this again fresh. Awesome label though.

nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
Sep 19, 2009 Bomber. Clear, darkish copper-amber with a lasting half-inch of creamy foam. Big aroma is a nice blend of orange, grapefruit, tea leaf, caramel and light cocoa. Flavor is the same great blend with some additional dry leaf, wood and grapefruit on the finish. Medium-heavy body is mostly smooth and a little sticky, but dangerously drinkable. Drippy lacing all over the glass.
DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
Sep 17, 2009 Bottle from Cindirene’s. Pours dark copper with 2-finger off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, hops, fruity, and some slight funky spicy hints. The flavor is hoppy, with a hefty caramel malt base, and some mid-palate yeasty spice, fruity tartness, and late earthy peppery notes. Very complex with well hidden alcohol, this one is rock solid.
